Meet Terry Moore

Terry Moore, president emeritus and retired CEO of MidMichigan Health, is also the former executive-in-residence at SVSU and member of the faculty for the masters of science in health leadership program. In these roles, Terry saw firsthand the need for and value of a healthcare leadership program in an industry that continues to surge in terms of largest and fastest job growth areas, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And in his new role as CEO of the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance, Terry’s observations go beyond his medical and higher education experiences – now he looks at things through a wider, regional lens. What he sees is the critical need for this program in a region that has become a major medical/healthcare hub.

Terry knows how difficult it can be to pursue education while working; he earned the last two of his three master’s degrees when he held a full-time job. “People are either sacrificing today for a better tomorrow or sacrificing tomorrow for today,” he says.

From experience, Terry says a master’s degree is “an essential credential” for future success in health care. “The leadership and management roles in the industry are numerous, but they’re increasingly competitive. A master’s degree is now the standard in many areas.”

Of SVSU’s health leadership program, Terry says it “provides a broad range of educational experience and builds leadership ability. Students will strengthen their abilities in health care finance, law, human resources and communication.”
